Kuch jagahein sirf khana nahi deti — woh zindagi ka ek hissa ban jaati hain.
Beta, main ek baat poochhti hoon — kya kabhi kisi ne 56 Dukan ka naam suna aur pet mein gudgudi nahi aayi? Nahi na. Yeh jagah sirf ek food market nahi hai, yeh Indore ki pehchaan hai. Yeh woh jagah hai jahan ek student apna pehla dahi bada khata hai, ek naya naukar apni pehli salary pe family ko le aata hai, aur ek buzurg apne 40 saal purane swad ki talash mein aata hai. 56 Dukan sirf khana nahi deta — zindagi ka ek hissa deta hai.
The History: Yeh 56 Number Aaya Kahan Se?
1947 ke baad jab Sindhi sharanarthiyon ne Indore mein apna ghar banaya, tab unhone is street pe apni dukanen kholeen. Pehle 56 dukanen thi — isliye naam pada 56 Dukan. Ab toh dukanen kai gunaa ho gayi hain, lekin naam wahi purana pyara 56 hi raha. Yeh naam apne aap mein ek kahani hai — ek aise logon ki kahani jo naya sheher aakar bhi apna swad saath le aaye.
